Blue Mounds

DANE

County | Nearest City: Blue Mounds

Expect a challenge. A few steep climbs, several technical creek crossings and large rock obstacles make this one of the best rides in the state. For the technical riders, Holy Schist is a must ride. Many small rock gardens and other obstacles as well as difficult climbs make this an enjoyable outing.

Crystal Lake

Single track loaded with tight switchbacks, steep technical climbs, and even a log creek crossing. This trail has great flow and is well maintained. It's hard to find, but well worth looking for. One of the best overall trails in Wisconsin. Don't miss this one.

Glacial Blue Hills

WASHINGTON

County | Nearest City: West Bend

Glacial Blue Hills Recreation Area is rugged and primitive, offering a wilderness-like experience for the visitor. Glacial Blue Hills offers highline views of the woodland valley, presents clues to the most recent glaciation, and yields access to the park’s interior solitude, while affording the unique chance to hike, mountain bike, explore via orienteering, and nap among nature’s conversation. Trailheads and parking lot are located on Beaver Dam Road.

Greenbush

SHEBOYGAN

County | Nearest City: Greenbush

Greenbush trails are located in the Kettle Moraine State Forest-Northern Unit. There is plenty of parking, a picnic area and pit toilets, all well maintained and very clean. There is also a camp ground on site if you care to stay the weekend.
New single track has been created since our last ride. The Greenbush Trail is a combination of four loop trails totaling 9 miles. Hiking is not allowed on the mountain bike trails which are also located in this area for safety reasons.

Hartman Creek State Park

WAUPACA

County | Nearest City: Waupaca

Currently there is 8 miles of single track. There is a completed beginner loop, and intermediate loop. There should be room for around 10 miles of trail when it's all done. Trails are fully benched, IMBA approved single track. It's is fast and fun. There are also another 7 miles of double track to added some miles to a day of riding. A state trail pass is required(same as northern and southern kettles). Also there are no open/closed dates. You just need to be mindful of hunting seasons. As for rain closures, we ask that you use your best judgement, as you should with all trails, but because the trails are built to handle rain they shed it well.

Hoyt Park

MILWAUKEE

County | Nearest City: Wauwatosa

Very technical singletrack. Lots of roots, skree, and trees. Many paths to take, all about the same difficulty. Distance varies depending on route taken. These trails are little known to the public but the good riders find them to be very fun and challenging! Fast in certain areas, tricky in others. There is even a jump section on the south trail. Location: just south of 92nd & North Ave on Swan Blvd. Source: MTBR

FOND DU LAC

County | Nearest City: Fond du Lac

3 of 5
Primarily singletrack with some open sections and double-track. Mostly wooded landscape, with some grassy fields, pines, and scrub brush. Trail is highlighted with short, steep climbs, winding single-track and some especially tight sections. Great views over lake Winnebago. The trail system is multi-use, so be alert and courteous to other user groups. Hikers, horses, and a few runners are there regularly. Generally, the singletrack sections have only bikers on them. This trail is used regularly, but is generally not crowded. The trails occupy a relatively small area of 120 acres, but a loop can easily be set up to hit most of the fun sections and take a competitive rider 40 minutes to complete. The trail is technical enough to hone skills when ridden at speed, but also tame enough that beginners can handle many, if not most sections. Source MTBR

Nine Mile

MARATHON

County | Nearest City: Wausau

| Fees: NA | Website: NA

Wow. This trail has some of the most challenging single track in the state if you know where to look. It's well marked, but has little flow so it can be very easy to get turned around. This trail is a must for any mtbr looking for a great ride. Try to hook up with a local to guide you.

Peninsula State Park

DOOR

County | Nearest City: Fish Creek

Plenty of moderately challenging single track to be found. Look for the 3 mile loop north of Middle Road for a more challenging ride. This isn't the most challenging trail in the state but it's a great break from shopping with the wife.

Riverview Park Trails

KEWAUNEE

County | Nearest City: Kewaunee

“Maple Lane” as it’s marked on the map is actually signed as County Highway “L”. The trailhead is actually located just across the road from the parking area shown on the google map, (just after the second curve), not where the “A” marker is on the map.

Washburn Lake Trail

ONEIDA

County | Nearest City: Rhinelander

| Fees: NA | Website: NA

The trails are not well marked and it's easy to get turned around, but if you're looking for a technical ride, it's a great place to get lost. Tight switchbacks and rocky, root covered terrain. This trail doesn't seem to be ridden much but it should be. Great trail system.

Winter Park

KEWAUNEE

County | Nearest City: Kewaunee

| Fees: N/A | Website: NA

Woven into a ski hill and disc golf course, this trail has fantastic single track that balances climbs and descents almost perfectly. The trail has great flow and amazing scenery as well. Part of the trail is closed for the '07 season which shortens the ride to about 3-4 miles. Still worth the trip.
